Tennessee and the Obama Hoax

I’m laughing my butt off right now at Tennessee State Representative Eric Swafford. He represents the 25th District in Tennessee – my district. Mr. Swafford for reason fell into the whole Barack Obama isn’t a U.S. Citizen frenzy of Internet folklore. What’s amazing about this is that Swafford felt it so pressing that he needed to file a lawsuit over the matter – even though the case has already been discussed, heard and decided on in the U.S. Supreme Court.

You write “even though the case has already been discussed, heard and decided on in the U.S. Supreme Court.”
If you are to report/comment on a news story you should take some time to study the facts. The fact is that the Supreme Court has NOT heard the case. They have said that the plaintiff does not have “standing”. The merits of the case have NEVER been discussed. Everyone in our country should have standing, but the Congressmen and Military Personell that are on this new lawsuit will definitely have standing. Hopefully we will get to the bottom of this issue and move on. All you name callers have no facts and are afraid that the truth will come out. When it does these congressmen will hate the last, and best, laugh.

I was making a comment (opinion) about a legislator joining the suit. I stand corrected because he actually didn’t file the suit – Swafford joined it. The supreme court dismissed it and wouldn’t consider the emergency appeal. That sounds like a decision to me.
I hope the truth does come out and we all can move on.
